Idle has produced a mattress with an unique style.Idle Mattress Sleep Like The Dead
Unlike other dual-sided bed-in-the-box mattresses which have a different firmness on each side, Idle produced their mattresses with the SAME firmness on both sides.
This was a model that used to be common for many standard innerspring mattresses up until the costs got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped offering the ones you might turn and opted for the less expensive to manufacture one-sided variations.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the dual sided flippable mattress is back.
This unique design allows you to turn the Idle over occasionally to prolong the life of the mattress and avoid any drooping or imprints from occurring. This is especially advantageous when it comes to couples where one partner is larger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress SummaryIdle Mattress Sleep Like The Dead
The business, Idle Sleep, was founded in 2017 and is based in Colorado Springs, CO. All of the mattresses are handcrafted to order in the USA.
Idle has a really generous sleep trial period of 18 months which is about 540 days. If at anytime within the 18 month trial you choose Idle is not the best mattress for you, they will coordinate a return with you or donation and refund 100% of your purchase price. Idle’s trial is the longest in the market– about 540 nights!
How is the Idle Hybrid Mattress Constructed?
Idle has 2 models that are made with Certipur certified foams which indicates that they contain no PBDE’s, TDCPP or ozone depleters.
Idle mattresses are 14″ high and created with handgrips attached to the sides which make it easier to flip them.
They are likewise excellent for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (people that turn between positions during the night.)
The hybrid mattresses are also suggested for people with back pain because the coils will give your spine support while the latex or foam will cushion your pressure points.
You can sleep cool on these mattresses because the materials that they are made out of are known for their cooling properties.
THE IDLE HYBRID
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— Contouring foam is woven into the upper layer which gives it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is developed with aerated foam which provides cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to stay cooler than memory foam and offers far better pressure relief for areas like hips and back.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer serves as the core support of the mattress with high quality steel pocketed innerspring coils that go all the way to the edge of the mattress.

The Latex Hybrid is made with 100% natural cotton, wool and natural latex which are fabrics that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Mattress Sleep Like The Dead
Latex tends to sleep very cool because it is aerated and won’t trap heat the in the same way a standard memory foam mattress does.
The layers are held together with button tufting rather than glue to make this a truly natural mattress.
How firm is the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses can be found in 2 firmness selections: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the choice of getting a mattress with 2 Luxury Firm sides, 2 Medium sides or Medium on one side and Luxury Firm on the other side.
The Medium is around a 6.5 out of 10, where 10 is the firmest. The Luxury Firm is around a 9 out of 10.
Larger individuals will find the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how supportive the bed is around its perimeter.
The coils on the Idle Sleep mattresses go right to the edge of the mattresses to supply the very best support whether you are sitting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
There is very little motion transfer even though these mattresses do have some bounce. The separately enclosed coils isolate motion far better than conventional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box classification this one might be a great choice if you sleep with a spouse or a pet so your sleep will not be impacted by their movement.
